Easy for homeowners to install themselves.
The only problem is the fittings for the copper tubing crack after years of use.
I decided to give 3M system a try after reading few reviews and research on its filter quality. These carbon block filters are still going strong after 6 months, although its apparent that the flow isn't as strong as it was during the first month but its still going at a good flow rate.
This unit is much better at removing nasties from the water. This under-sink system is more cost effective and far more convenient without the overflow bits of charcoal that tend to escape from more primitive filters.

He is not punctual, about half an hour late. But he is good at what he does (installing the water filter). Asked him to fix the broken toilet flush and plumbing as well, and he seemed pretty skillful.
